Target demographics: empower women and youth of this low-income community acquire the tools and skills necessary to build better lives and become good citizens of the world.

Geographic areas served: R2T currently works in Kabiria, an informal settlement community in the Dagoretti Division of Nairobi, Kenya. Kabiria is an extremely low income area. Found on Kabiria Road in Waithaka Location, Kabiria consists of small pockets of “parkings” on private land. The shanties are on small plots of land owned by individuals, who are unable to construct adequate housing. Adjoining the shanties are high-rise buildings and permanent bungalows.

Programs: education scholarships and life skills training for youth, women's economic empowerment training, and capital to form new businesses or improve current ones.
